Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted July 19, 2010 **
Before: B. FLETCHER, REINHARDT, and WARDLAW, Circuit Judges.
Yowssef Mohamed Abowzid, a native and citizen of Egypt, petitions for
review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order summarily dismissing his
appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) removal order. We have jurisdiction

continuance, Sandoval-Luna v. Mukasey, 526 F.3d 1243, 1246 (9th Cir. 2008) (per
curiam), and we deny the petition for review.
The IJ did not abuse his discretion in denying a continuance where Abowzid
did not demonstrate good cause. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.29 (an IJ may grant a motion
for a continuance for good cause shown); Baires v. INS, 856 F.2d 89, 92-93 (9th
Cir. 1988). It follows that Abowzid’s due process claim fails. See Lata v. INS, 204
F.3d 1241, 1246 (9th Cir. 2000) (requiring error for a petitioner to prevail on a due
process claim).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
